You have heard my vow

1
God, listen to me and answer my prayer.
2
While I am discouraged and far from my home, I am calling out to you. Lead me to a place that will be like a high rock on top of which I will be safe.
3
You have been my refuge; you have been like a strong tower in which my enemies cannot attack me.
4
Allow me to live close to your sacred tent all during my life! Allow me to be safe as a little bird is safe under its mother’s wings.
5
God, you heard me when I solemnly promised to give offerings to you; you have given to me the blessings that belong to those who have an awesome respect for you.
6
I am the king of Israel; please allow me to live and rule for many years, and allow my descendants to rule also.
7
Allow us to rule forever while you observe us; watch over us while you faithfully love us and do for us what you promised.
8
If you do that, I will always sing to praise you while I offer to you each day the sacrifices that I promised to give to you.

You have heard my vow

1
Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.
2
From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3
For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.
4
I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah.
5
For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6
You will prolong the king’s life. His years will be for generations.
7
He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
8
So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows daily.
